LEGO Pokémon Sets Launch Globally for Pokémon Day 2026!
February 27, 2026, marks a significant milestone in the gaming world. It is Pokémon Day, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise. On this special day, fans will also see the global launch of official LEGO Pokémon sets.
Launch Details for LEGO Pokémon Sets
LEGO has introduced several new products featuring beloved Pokémon characters. The launch includes:
- 72153: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise Set – This popular combination has already gone on backorder due to high demand.
- 40892: Kanto Region Badge Collection – Available as a gift with purchase when buying the above set from February 27 to March 8, 2026 (while supplies last).
- 40911: Mini Pokémon Center LEGO Insiders Reward – Redeemable with 2,500 LEGO Insider Points, limited to one per account.
Limited Availability
Unfortunately, not all regions will enjoy the same access. Asia and Japan will not see the release of LEGO Pokémon sets due to existing agreements with other brands.
LEGO has indicated that they have produced a reasonable number of Kanto Badge sets for international markets. Even with the main set on backorder, fans should still be able to obtain the gift with purchase.
Redemption Instructions
To redeem the Mini Pokémon Center set, customers should ensure they are in their respective country’s LEGO Insider Rewards Centre. Remember, redemption must occur within 60 days of receiving the code with a future purchase, and availability is projected to be limited.
Issues and Concerns
Reports have surfaced of delays in Australia and New Zealand, attributed to technical challenges. LEGO is currently addressing these concerns, and discussions on social media platforms are ongoing.
This Pokémon Day promises to delight fans with exciting new releases, marking a joyful celebration of a three-decade legacy in gaming and toy culture.
